[Bug 76396] Abiword ignores DPI setting for zooming, assumes 72 dpi (1440 dpi / 20)

[Constantine Evans]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: abiword

Akin to bug #44672 in Evince, Abiword also ignores the system's and
user's DPI settings (Xft.dpi and xorg.conf) for purposes of zooming.
This was also discussed in bug #62347 in abiword, but was beyond the
scope of that bug.

It appears that Abiword uses a resolution of 72 dpi for zooming, which
would make sense as 72*20=1440. This should be relatively easy to fix in
the GNOME and Gtk versions - I should be able to write a patch that will
scale the given zoom by screen_dpi/72 to get the zoom that Abiword
should use.

I will report this upstream and try to fix it later.
